[Harry Potter] The Model Wizard

He is a child of the Crouch family, one of the 28 Sacred Pure-blood families. He inherited the name of the Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement. He is a top student at Hogwarts, his father's pride, and a model student recognized by professors far and wide.

He worships Voldemort and joins the Death Eaters while still a student. After using the Unforgivable Curses on innocent people, he is sent to Azkaban. Overnight, he becomes everyone's target, a burden to his father and a disgrace to his family.

On his Hogwarts acceptance letter, his name is Barty Crouch Jr. Everyone around him calls him Barty. A kind soul grows strong in the darkness, while an evil shadow silently clears the obstacles in his path.

When he sees the Dementors drifting toward him again, he feels no fear. He only thinks to himself, "If a Time-Turner could take me back to the past, if we could meet, I would cherish you even more than I cherish myself. I would guide you forward and help you grow up healthy and happy. Even if I were stuck in the gutter, I would give you a sky full of stars."
